	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2023 answer text <p>The distribution of the costs and benefits of the transition to net zero will depend on future policy decision. The UK's approach demonstrates that ‘green’ and ‘growth’ go hand in hand. The transition will help shield households and business from the destabilising effects of volatile fossil fuel markets and will provide huge opportunities for jobs, investment, innovation and exports.</p><p> </p><p>Energy saving schemes have also been targeted towards vulnerable households and steps have been taken to protect exposed industries. The OBR has also set out that while unmitigated climate change would spell disaster, the net fiscal costs of moving to net zero by 2050 could be comparatively modest.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 24/07/2023 11:39:05 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
